CLASS 10 REAL NUMBERS IMPORTANT PYQ’S

Q 1. The sum of exponents of prime factors in the prime-factorization of 196 is:

Options

(a) 3
(b) 4
(c) 5
(d) 2

Ans. (b)
Explanation:
Prime factorization is the method of representing a number as the multiplication of its
prime factors. A number qualifies as prime if it possesses solely two factors , 1 and the
number itself.Here's a breakdown of the sequential procedure for identifying the prime
factors in the prime factorization of 196:
Prime factors of 196 = 22 × 7222 × 72‍So, sum of exponents = 2+2=4
Q 2. The total number of factors of a prime number is:
options

(a) 1
(b) 0
(c) 2
(d) 3
Ans. (c)
Explanation:
As we know that prime numbers are the numbers with two factors, 1 and the number
itself.
∴ Total number of factors of a prime number will be 2.
Q 3. The LCM of two numbers is 14 times their HCF. The sum of LCM and HCF is 750.
If one number is 250, then find the other number.

Explanation:
Let HCF be H.
Then LCM = 14H
Now, sum of LCM and HCF is 750. [Given]
∴ 14H + H = 750
⇒
⇒H = 75015⇒H = 15750⇒
15H = 750
H = 50
∴ LCM = 14H = 14 × 50 = 700
We know that,
Product of LCM and HCF = Product of two numbers.

⇒ y = 250700×50⇒Y = 140
Then, 700 × 50 = 250 × y
y = 700×50250⇒Y = 140⇒
Hence, the other number is 140.
Q 4. On a morning walk, three men step off together and their steps measure 54 cm, 60
cm and 48 cm, respectively. What is the minimum distance each should walk so that
each can cover the same distance in complete steps?

Explanation:
The minimum distance that each should walk is the LCM of 54, 60 and 48.
Now, 54=2×33 60=22×3×5 48=24×3∴ LCM(54,60,48) = 24×3
3×5 =2160∴ Required distance = 2160 cm = 21m60cm 54=2×33
60=22×3×5 48=24×3∴ LCM(54,60,48) = 24×33×5 =2160∴ Requi
red distance = 2160 cm = 21m60cm
Q 5. The LCM of two numbers is M times their HCF. The sum of LCM and HCF is 750.
If one number is 250, then find the other number.

Explanation:
Let HCF be ‘H’
Then LCM = 14H sum of LCM and HCF is 750.
∴ 14H + H = 750
⇒
⇒ H=75015 ⇒
15H = 750
H=15750 ⇒ H = 50
∴ LCM = 14H
= 14 × 50 = 700
We know
Product of LCM and HCF = Product of two numbers.
Let other number be y
Then,

⇒ y=700×50/250⇒ y=250700×50 ⇒ y = 140


700 × 50 = 250 × y

Hence, the other number is 140.
